The apocryphal Gospel of James is where the tradition of Saint Anne and Saint Joachim being the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary originated. While there is no other proof of this tradition, it makes little difference. They have been honored as Mary's parents for nearly 2000 years. Whether their names were Anne and Joachim or Marge and Homer makes little difference. Mary had two, loving parents.
